thanks for the advise, I have not thought about the price of cleaners etc. I could save some money in that, but I don't buy as much at most ones a month, food I have to buy every week. I am not knowledgeable in tofu or how to prepare but I will, check out, even though anything that has tofu or made with soy is very expensive, I was looking at a little box of edamame and it was not even 6oz and it was about 6 dollars for something I can eat as a snack. Talking about snacks anybody have any ideas for cheap snacks, box special K protein bars is 8 dollars for 6 bars last 3 days, and 6 dollars for Special K protein water 5.50 for 4 packs!! I need help with this, how can you make yogurt at home maybe this a cheap way to get my yogurt activia light is very expensive and I eat about 2 to 4 of them daily.
I appreciate your advice and that you took the time to write to help me. BEa |

Thanks for the advise, but my problem is in Puerto Rico there is no local produce, everything, and I mean everything is imported. Only coffee and sometimes mangos and pineapples, but we dont porduce any food. I go to Costco with my syster our bill was 700 dollars so about 350 each and there was mostly canned and frozen foods, only fresh one large bag of tomatoes and a bag of spinash for 15 dollars and its so big it only last about a week and lots of it spoils. I really dont know how people can mantain the healthy eating. I can of understand why so many people are overweight, its cheaper to eat junk.

Again thanks for all the advise! I know I am not eating completely wrong, for me I am doing an outstanding job. I am used to eating all the time and being puertorrican, a lot of fried food rice and beans. When I a exercise regularly it seems I dont gain too much weight no matter what I eat. But at those times I am exercising like a maniac(I call it my dyslexic mode, because I do p90x 2 a day, some tmes I exercise over 2 hours). For six month I did not do anythign and I gained weight. I know my stats say I am ok, but for me(by the way I have always felt fat) I look bad and feel bad. The worst part I was so close to being in some sort of real shape last Oct. I have an hour glass figure, with very jiggly thighs and but(I absolutely hate them) but I was able to firm them up, till no visible muscles, but a bit firmer( I sometimes think if I get a bit bigger my thighs loose some of the sagging since the skin gets taught, go figure :) So now I have been a month of diet and exercise and no results(visible or scale)!! Its a bit frustrating!! I am unemployed so I dont have a budget to get fresh fruits and vegetables as everybody here sure knows are the best. So I keep frozen fruits and vegetables, Chicken(thighs, I dont like breast), canned tuna and salmon, whole wheat local wraps, peanut butter, yogurt, cottage chz, pasta, and tomato sauce. I have only been tracking my calories for 4 days and this is what I have. Any advice to change inexpensively. |

Thanks to all for your advice! I am not going to stress about the weight, I did try a pair of jeans that will not go up my thighs and now I was able to put them on with effort and laying on the bed and sucking it all in(got the mental picture
I have upped my calories to 1500-1600 I am trying to eat every 2-4 hours betw. 200-250 meals. I eliminated regular sugar, diet sodas, white flour. I use Splenda for everything is this ok? I am having a big problem with the late night monchies(worked at night for many years and still have the habit of eating at night). I am eating light popcorn individual baggies, but I can help myself and always eat 2 to 3 bags(max calories 330) but I feel this is not a good thing. Can I subsititue with something else, for salty cravings.
